My Happy Boy!

I love being a mom!!! I have to admit Jacob has his moments where he drives me crazy and I've lost my patience but the ups are soooo worth the downs! This week I started working again (which I'm not overly excited about) and being away from him all day makes me realize how much I loved being a full time mom for the 2 months that I could. I'm just glad I work close enough to home that I can visit him and David at lunch time.
Speaking of being back at work...
Before I went back I emailed my supervisor to see what I'd be doing because things were kinda up in the air when I left about what my position would be in the department. Well, I guess they had to hire someone over the summer because the call volume was so high and they needed someone to start on backend stuff for the end of the summer. (For those of you who don't know, I work for Pinnacle Security, a summer sales company, and a backend is the big (or not so big) checks the sales men get at the end of the summer.) Well now the call volume isn't too bad and the girl who I trained to do my position while I was on leave is now leaving. So I thought it'd be perfect for when I get back to have the same position that I did when I left in May but there's a new guy in the department doing nothing so they had him trained for my old position. Now I'm in a data entry position in a different department and it has its ups and downs. Ups: I get to listen to my ipod all day, I don't have to take calls or emails from disprespectful sales reps, I get more flexible hours, and it's easier to get incentives. Downs: I don't work with some people I really enjoy working with, my lunch and breaks are set times now, the work is really boring and mundane, and I'll probably be at the same pay for another year or so because I'll have to work up to a raise again. Count your blessings--at least I have a job and good insurance.
I miss Jacob whenever I think about him at work but I'm happy I had a day off on Friday to spend with him and David. Here's a video of why it's so worthwhile:
